Chapter 50 She hoped that this happy and peaceful life could continue forever.
The family's downfall was very sudden.
In just one day, the entire Cheng family was wiped out.
Moreover, the other party made their move during the New Year hunting festival, wiping out the entire Cheng family in one fell swoop.
There are many rumors circulating about the reasons for the downfall of the Cheng family.
However, most people say that this incident was caused by the head of the Cheng family favoring his illegitimate son and mistreating his legitimate son. He even went so far as to dig out the legitimate son's supreme spiritual bone and transfer it to his illegitimate son. Such a favoritism towards a concubine and neglect of one's wife is truly rare.
After escaping his family, the eldest son seized an opportunity outside, returned to the Cheng family, and personally killed his father and mother, slaughtering the entire Cheng family.
Passersby who heard this story couldn't help but sigh.
However, most people also felt that the head of the Cheng family deserved it. If it weren't for his selfish desires, the family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, would not have been destroyed overnight.
Some say that the legitimate son of the Cheng family was not Cheng Wanshan's biological son at all, but rather the illegitimate son, and that the legitimate son was merely a tool for him to obtain the Supreme Spirit Bone.
Regardless of the truth, this version of events is more widely accepted.
Otherwise, there's really no way to explain why the Cheng family would be so foolish.
With this precedent set, the surrounding small families began to educate their children that they must never favor concubines over wives, that there has always been a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and that listening to their ancestors was definitely the right thing to do.
Do not mistreat the eldest son, and certainly do not abuse the sons born out of wedlock. Maintain a proper order of seniority and respect for elders.
The downfall of Cheng Jia caused quite a stir in the surrounding area and even served to rectify social customs.
If it were another family that had been wiped out, there might have been malicious people who would have gone to devour the "corpse," just like "vultures."
But this time there was none at all.
Everyone knows that the Cheng family has a Nascent Soul expert assisting them.
I heard that this Nascent Soul expert is a dragon from the Dragon Palace, and is also the spirit beast of the eldest son. He once fought against the Cheng family's strength in the martial arts arena without being at a disadvantage, and even killed three Nascent Soul experts.
Even the most suicidal person wouldn't seek trouble with such a powerful individual; it would be tantamount to suicide.
Moreover, they had all heard that the Cheng family seemed to have perished, but not completely.
The eldest son and his spirit beast settled down in the house and became the new "Chengjia".
With a Nascent Soul expert in charge, it's only a matter of time before they become the new overlord.
After learning about this, some people wanted to visit him to offer help in his time of need and to "seize the opportunity," but they were all turned away.
The new head of the Cheng family said they wanted to live a few days of peace and quiet.
So I don't want to see anyone.
......
Since that day, Cheng Xiao and Long Yingxue have lived in the Cheng family home after its destruction.
Many people have died here, and now only the two of them remain.
Long Yingxue replaced everything in the main house from top to bottom, burning all the old things and buying new ones instead.
They finally moved from the secluded little house in the Spirit Beast Garden into the main house.
They once only had one wooden bed.
Cheng Xiao would sit alone on the cold ground every night to cultivate, while Long Yingxue lay on the wooden bed.
Although the bed was hard and damp when it rained, Long Yingxue still felt warm whenever she thought about it.
Now they finally have a big bed, which is spacious enough for two people to lie down together.
The bed was soft and the bedding was all newly made by her.
Ever since the day she said she would stay at the Cheng family home together, Long Yingxue has kept her word. She has managed the Cheng family home very well, so Cheng Xiao doesn't need to worry about anything.
He truly became a pampered young master who only needed to eat, drink, and have fun.
Long Yingxue runs around in the yard every day wearing a dress. Her appearance, which is about ten years old, makes her look very comical, as if a child is trying to meddle in the affairs of adults.
She always said that she was Cheng Xiao's elder, more than a thousand years older than him, and that she should do these things and take on the responsibilities of an elder.
That sounds reasonable.
But it always sounds a bit strange coming from a child.
However, Cheng Xiao didn't say anything and just let her go.
He simply lay on his recliner, basking in the sun every day, silently waiting for the dragons from the Dragon Palace to come and cause trouble.
Now that Chengjia is no longer surrounded by those messy relatives and servants, the huge mansion appears spacious and peaceful.
Long Yingxue used the wealth she had plundered from the Cheng family a few days earlier to buy a lot of flower and plant seeds in the city.
She filled her yard with exotic flowers and plants, and even raised several chickens that could only crow and lay eggs.
In her words, this is called "experiencing the real life of ordinary people, working at sunrise and resting at sunset."
Every morning, Cheng Xiao would meditate and practice breathing exercises in the courtyard.
Long Yingxue, on the other hand, would wear a small apron and bustle around in the kitchen.
She didn't know how to cook at first, but after constant practice, she learned to cook fairly well. While the food she made might not be perfect in terms of color, aroma, or taste, it was at least edible.
Although she occasionally burns through the bottom of the pot or chars the food, she always enjoys it.
In the evening, they would sit on the rooftop and watch the sunset.
Long Yingxue would chatter on and on about which patch of land she had turned over in the yard that day, and which hen had laid an egg, while Cheng Xiao would just listen quietly, nodding occasionally.
There is no hatred, no fighting, only the mundane details of daily life and peaceful times.
Long Yingxue felt that this was the first time in a thousand years that she had truly felt happiness and that life was so wonderful.
She had even gradually forgotten that she was once a high and mighty dragon princess.
She forgot the dragon tendon that had been brutally pulled from her back, and she also forgot the hatred that she had buried deep in her heart forever.
All she wanted was to stay in this little courtyard, stay by the young man's side, and live out her life like this.
Occasionally, she would think about whether she should find Chengxiao a wife and have a few children so that they could rebuild their family and make the courtyard more lively.
But it was just a thought, because every time this idea popped into her head, she would feel that it was good to stay with Cheng Xiao like this.
And so, every day it was just the two of them, with no one to bother them.
Long Yingxue didn't know what this feeling was either.
She should find Cheng Xiao a wife; it's her duty as an elder.
But she also wanted to be alone with Cheng Xiao forever, never to be separated.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.
I just let the days go by, one after another.
Anyway, Cheng Xiao will only be seventeen after the New Year, and eighteen after another year.
With their cultivation levels, living for over a thousand years wouldn't be a problem, so finding a wife could be put on hold for now.
Let's wait until she figures it out before we talk about it.
Long Yingxue thought that such peaceful days would last forever, for a hundred years, or even a thousand years.
But some causes and effects cannot be avoided simply by trying to escape them.
Some identities are not ones she can simply discard at will.
She wanted to let go of the hatred, but the hatred would come looking for her.
What should come has finally come.
Long Yingxue was still planning how to rebuild the Spirit Beast Garden, but she suddenly felt her heart pounding wildly. It was the pressure from her own kind, which was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than hers!
This oppressive force is even rapidly approaching them!
In just a moment, Long Yingxue realized that it was her fellow clansmen from the Dragon Palace who had come looking for her!
Her heart sank to the bottom.
She had already given up; she only wanted this little bit of happiness.
Why?
Why did they still come looking for us?
Long Yingxue appeared in the main room in a few flashes. She planned to take Cheng Xiao away first and run as far away as possible.
But before she could say anything to Cheng Xiao, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened without warning!
It's all too late.
